Joanna “Joey” Redmon, a graduate student in pharmacy at Washington State University, truly “gets” the significance of searching for opportunities and engaging in her own education. “My greatest learning experience,” she said, “has been how to find opportunities that will lead me to my goals.”
“College can be intimidating,” Joey said. “It’s a challenge to navigate and locate relevant opportunities. For me, it started with the WSU Honors College where I learned how to integrate into the WSU community and participate in many rewarding experiences. I want to share that understanding with other students.”
Joey’s path to Washington State University took some navigating. She’d started dancing at age three and was trained in ballet, tap, jazz, and modern dance. Dancing professionally was Joey’s dream. After she graduated from high school in her hometown, Spokane, Washington, she planned to move to California to fulfill that dream. But Joey was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease, a chronic inflammatory condition of the gastrointestinal tract.
